The Makeup of Pennsylvania's Supreme Court Hangs in the Balance in November. Here's What's at Stake
Made up of seven justices, Pennsylvania’s state Supreme Court currently holds a Democratic 5-2 majority, which could change in November’s election.
It’s been a decade since a Democratic majority took control of the commonwealth’s highest court in 2005; making this year’s election outcome a watershed moment.
Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justices and Democrats Christine Donohue, Kevin Dougherty and David Wecht are up for retention vote with a yes/no ballot question in November.
What’s at stake is the potential for gerrymandered redistricting maps, the ability for women to access appropriate reproductive health care and a clear message to those seeking financial gain and influence here that Pennsylvanians are not interested in being controlled by out of state election campaign spending.
